With the AP Poll being updated on Sunday we saw Clemson stay in the top spot while Notre Dame remained fifth. Joining the Tigers and Irish in the top ten though were seventh ranked Miami and eighth ranked North Carolina.
Four ACC teams being ranked in the top ten simultaneously is a conference first, with the poll dating back all the way to 1936.

If Clemson beats Miami as the sports books say they should do, it may be hard to see this happen again the rest of the year as the Big Ten and Pac-12 will be starting their seasons soon enough and likely creating more of a logjam after they get some games under their belts as opposed to pre-season hype.
In addition to the Clemson/Miami game this week, Notre Dame hosts unranked Florida State while North Carolina hosts Virginia Tech.
